Ukrtruboizol Scientific and Production Company

Dnipropetrovs'k region is one of the biggest industrial centers of Ukraine and CIS where tube plants are concentrated. The idea of creation of SPC «Ukrtruboizol» was in creation of high-quality tube coating.
New-born enterprise was succeeded to collect the collective of talented engineers fully developed technological process and created equipment for coating. From the first steps the company started to introduce innovation design decisions. Above all things, it is original technology of the simultaneous 2 layers applying. Then the system of rolling with pressed air was constructed and induction furnaces UIN were created (also know-how of SPC «Ukrtruboizol») where heating of tube is made by current of industrial frequency and cooling of inductor – by air.
In 2001-2004 they launched three lines for coating 57-325, 57-530 and 102-1020 mm tubes. In January, 2005 SPC «Ukrtruboizol» together with the leading Russian Institute for Oil Transporting «VNIIST» has introduced new technology of 3 layer tube coating.
In March, 2006 the company purchased Repair-Mechanical Works (nearby Dnipropetrovs'k). Mastering of this works started from introduction of technology of polyurethane coating. Method developed and offered by specialists of the company together with English Company «E. WOOD Ltd» has been firstly applied in Ukraine. Tubes with such coating are used for extraction of gas on the continental platform of the Black Sea. During seven months three operating lines were passed into new place and two of them had been modernized during mounting. Thus for time of passing the company did not decrease production output but even increased it. From one side, Ukrtruboizol began new life and from other – domestic technologies made real payment to strengthening of energy safety of Ukraine. After reconstruction the productivity of production lines of the company makes 100-300 km of coated tubes a month.
The products of the company are certificated in the Center of Certification of Construction Materials and Structures of Derzhbud of Ukraine, Laboratory of Certification Tests of Anticorrosion Coating, G.V. Karpenko Physics and Mechanics Institute of the NAS of Ukraine (Lviv, Ukraine), Gubkin Russian State University (Moscow, Russia) and Scientific Research Institute for the Construction and Operation of Fuel and Power Sector Pipelines and Facilities «VNIIST» (Moscow, Russia). The company obtained permission of Gosgortehnadzor of Russia and Promatomnadzor of Republic of Byelorussia on supply of coated tubes to these countries. High quality of products and technological process is controlled by specialists of inspection organizations: VERITAS Bureau, Moody Int., Lloyd, Russian Gosnadzor and others.
The company participated in the presidential program of gasification of the Crimea, coated tubes for gas pipeline «Iran – Autonomous District of Nakhichevan» (Azerbaijan), oil pipeline «Zhulyn – Nadvirna» (supplying of oil to the powerful Oil Refinery «Naftokhimik Prykarpattya»), product pipelines of one of the biggest Russian company OJSC «Transnefteprodukt» and object under patronage of the President of Georgia on mountain districts water-supply. Tubes with coating of SPC «Ukrtruboizol» are applied during reconstruction using direct horizontal boring drilling method, which in May, 2007 was firstly applied in Ukraine. Contractor «Ukrgasbud» acknowledged high-quality of tube coating. Coating is created for national market, but also has demand abroad.
Tubes with Brand of SPC «Ukrtruboizol» are supplied to Russia, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Georgia, Armenia, Lithuania, Latvia, Slovakia, Serbia, Croatia, Tunis, Lebanon, Nigeria and China.
Due to high professionalism of employees the computing systems of management and control of technological processes are developed at the company. The system of quality management is entrance control, step-by-step control of any technological operation, verification of every coated tube on accordance to the normative indexes, certification in UkrSEPRO system with right to mark with conformance sign.
Now SPC «Ukrtruboizol» not only provides tube coating but also creates new perspective productions. The words «first» and «firstly» became usual for SPC «Ukrtruboizol». For six years the company passed a way from a few like-minded persons joined by common idea to the recognised leader on the market of anticorrosion coating. Today SPC «Ukrtruboizol» takes the first place among companies of this branch in Ukraine (data of the National Business-Rating and State Committee of Statistics of Ukraine).
